AMD Opteron™ Processor Powers Three New Digital Audio Workstations
64-bit capable Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) based on the AMD Opteron™
processor will forever change the way audio is recorded and produced. Replacing
traditional magnetic tape machines and other outboard gear for special effects,
audio engineers utilize AMD Opteron processor-based DAWs to realize new
music as well as repurpose older recordings currently existing on tape (e.g.,
old masters such as Queen's A Night at the Opera have been re-mastered for
surround formats such as Dolby 5.1 Surround). DAW application software such
as Steinberg's NUENDO, combined with the scalable AMD Opteron processor
and AMD64 architecture with HyperTransport™ technology allow the audio
engineer to handle today's projects that require many high-resolution audio
tracks, effects, and virtual instruments. Are you looking for a product
that can be configured to meet the most demanding digital audio processing,
editing, and mastering needs in a professional studio environment? Check
out the Verari NemeSys DAW64 Digital Audio Workstation.
Traditional outboard hardware effects units like pre-amps, reverbs and compressors
now exist as software "plug-ins," eliminating the need for expensive
boutique hardware. This puts more power and flexibility right at the fingertips
of the recording engineer. An added benefit of the AMD Opteron processor-based
DAW is its ability to handle the heavy processing required by today's new
generation of software based, or "virtual instruments" such as
the Native Instruments, Absynth and Propellerhead's, Reason. The native
computing power of the AMD Opteron processor-based platform is allowing
even further evolution of the DAW as seen by Open
Labs Neko64, which now combines audio production with a performance
instrument. Also available from Open Labs, the OpenStudio
OMX64 which features AMD Opteron single or dual 64-bit processor(s)
with up to 8GB of RAM, provides a complete studio-in-a-box solution in an
integrated road-worthy rack mount chassis, perfect for studio or live performance
musicians.
Software upgradeable, AMD Opteron processor-based Digital Audio Workstations
with AMD64 will provide the audio engineer with even greater performance
with the advent of Windows XP 64-bit Edition expected in 2004. For more
